The night’s main card airs on pay-per-view, and the remaining prelims are expected to stream on Facebook.

The UFC 141 “UFC Prelims” special will be Spike TV’s final ever. The UFC and Spike TV’s seven-year partnership concludes at year’s end, when the UFC moves to the FOX family of channels.

Nijem, a runner-up on “The Ultimate Fighter 13″ who suffered a knockout loss to Tony Ferguson in the show’s live finale, got back in the win column and returned to the lightweight division with a dominant unanimous-decision victory (via 30-25, 30-26 and 30-27 scores) over Danny Downes at UFC 137. He looks for his fifth win in six fights when he takes on Njokuani, a former WEC contender who avoided his fourth loss in five fights with a dominant unanimous-decision victory over Andre Winner at UFC 132.

Assuncao, meanwhile, made his octagon debut in September with a unanimous-decision win over Eddie Yagin at UFC 135. Although Assuncao was a bit tentative throughout the 15-minute affair, he did enough to secure the victory and now boasts a seven-fight win streak. He now meets Pearson, who drops from the lightweight division for his first contest at 145 pounds. The British slugger and “TUF 9″ winner makes the move after struggling through a 1-2 stretch that saw losses to Edson Barboza and Cole Miller bookending a decision win over Spencer Fisher.

UFC women’s bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey is probably the greatest female fighter on the planet, which is a tremendous feat. So why are we seemingly so obsessed with arguing about whether she could beat up men?
